pharsalia reads like one of those dark web pages where you can listen to horrifyingly graphic mp3 files documenting the history of plane crashes except you discover that the site stopped updating like two decades ago because it turns out the guy who ran it worked in one of the twin towers

this letter really Got To Me for reasons of He Is So Fucking Already Dead. you want to read it soooooo bad. but also im super sick atm and spent 100 years agonising over 'nec omnino simulacrum aliquod ac vestigium civitatis' like in the end i went w 'not even some shade or trace of free citizenship' but only after thinking like. to ME simulacrum is the presence of something similar enough to what is now absent to make that absence obvious and in this case painful. and it can also sometimes mean ghost or funeral effigy or all those cool things. and vestigium is just an absence where there was something before. is cicero trying to say the republic is so Gone that there Isn't even a ghost? yes sometimes a ghost is the prominent absence of a ghost, but is the prominent absence of the prominent absence of a ghost a ghost??? this is cool to rotate in your mind if you think about the republic not dying and just turning into something else. it's octavian's birthday today btw. anyway i made this huge list of potential translations of simulacrum and reeeeaaaally wanted to go w effigy but you don't get effigies of things that aren't People and then i almost went with phantom or even phantasma for shakespeare's julius caesar reasons but it thought that really Was too much and so i went w shade because like. stat magni nominis umbra :/

in today's letter: antony sucks and cicero has hated him for a while! cicero cares more for the republic than for his own life! cicero wishes but does not expect to still be alive by 42 bce! cicero implores the consul-designate appointed by a dead tyrant to protect the republic!

Highlights of the week.

Improved my daily routine.

Did a lot of small things to make life more comfortable.

Completed a few medical quests.

Refilled meds supplies at home.

Left the house.

Exercised.

Made sweets.

Watched the beginning of Vinci's Alessandro nell'Indie (Bayreuth 2022).

Read a bit more about the music in Porpora's Carlo il Calvo.

Read an article by Maksym Striha about the history of Ukrainian opera translations. Now if only I can locate his translation of Bortnyansky's Alcide!

Heard from Tate fascinating thoughts about the Golden Banquet conspiracy in TGCF as a parallel to Lucancore Pisonian conspiracy. While mimesis. Anle and Qi Rong are both personified civil war and mirrors. Did you know that Prince Anle wrote an unfinished epic poem? With subversive interpretations of his own surname? And he really did use ghosts as a source?

Folded origami New Year decorations (stars and bats). Also a goose.
